thornx Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Hello everybody. How do you handle server restarts with your dedicated server? In about 9-12 hours our server runs out of memory (I guess due to leaking). dcs.exe starting with 4GB per process (4 Instances on 1 server). 12 hours later the process is about 7 GB. With version 50979 one server restart in 24 hours was sufficient. Currently we need 2-3. 13:00 8.89 GB free space (32GB total available) 01:00 1 GB remaining 04:00 out of memory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElementLT Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 here is the batch file we currently use for 1 of hour servs. Will start then restart your DCS server every 8 hrs. Change to fit your needs. StartDcs.Bat @echo off :Start Start "" /high "C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta Server\bin\DCS.exe" --norender --server :loop timeout /t 28800>null taskkill /f /im DCS.exe >nul timeout /t 15>null goto Start Coming Soon...

Mr_sukebe Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I don't restart the server, but I do auto-stop missions at around the 6 hours mark. Within the ME, there's an "end mission", that can easily be set. For my server, I have a number of different missions on loop. If I were going with a single mission, I'd probably setup several versions, to cover normal daytime, night time and maybe poor weather conditions, just to add some spice to things.

Server: i5 2500@3.9Ghz, 1080, 24GB DDR3, SSD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebein Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 We pause the servers when noone is on, and we have a mission reset target near the 'starting base', I also do at least weekly restart of our servers.

thornx Posted July 30, 2020 Author Share Posted July 30, 2020 Thank you for your answers. There are some very good ideas (a restart target, mission loops, auto-stop, batch scripts ...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
